Ratio of fruits to veggies varies depending on flavor. They can be anywhere from a half to full serving per pouch. We recommend consuming a variety of pouches for a good range of color, nutrients and tastes. And we always recommend incorporating local, seasonal varieties of veggies and fruit as soon as baby moves onto more textured meals or whenever your lifestyle permits.

Plum® baby food pouches can be served at room temperature, slightly chilled, or warmed in a bowl of hot water. DO NOT microwave pouch. To serve, simply twist off the cap and let your little one feed directly from the spout, or squeeze into a bowl or onto a spoon for your little one to enjoy! The pouches can be stored in your cupboard until ready for use. Refrigeration is required upon opening and we recommend the meal should be consumed within 24 hours for best quality and taste.

Every baby's needs are different and will depend primarily on their size and appetite. Developmental stages may also affect their appetite. For example, a growth spurt may mean they will want to eat greater quantities more often while teething may cause them to eat less and be pickier with food. Follow your baby's lead on how much and when they want to eat.

Our pouch is not recyclable, but it does leave a smaller environmental footprint than the glass baby food jar. The amount of packaging per gram of food is almost 11 times smaller for the pouch as compared to the glass jar.

We’re also actively searching for alternative earth-friendly materials that can be used for food-grade products. We’ve even partnered with industry leaders, such as Materials Recovery for the Future and OSC2, to find new types of recyclable materials.

The cap is too small to go through the regular recycling system. Collect your caps and send them back to Preserve or drop them off at the nearest Preserve bin (find a location here).

Spices can be traced to the start of civilizations around the world, and have been added to baby food in different countries for generations. We thoroughly research the attributes of the herbs and spices in our baby food, such as sage and tarragon, and have worked closely with leading pediatric advisor and nutrition expert, Dr. Alan Greene throughout our product development. Also, we only add a hint of each herb or spice in our baby products since baby’s brand-new taste buds need a much smaller amount.

Plum Organics® Grow Well® Organic Infant Formula is appropriate for healthy full term babies to 12 months of age.

Our Stage 1 products have the smoothest texture and are intended to help introduce your 4- to 6-month-old baby to solid foods. We always recommend consulting with your pediatrician to determine when your baby might be ready for solids.

Stage 2 and 3 products are for babies age 6 months and up and are slightly thicker in texture and consistency than our Stage 1 products.

In contrast, our Baby snacks (Little Teethers® and Super Puffs®) are not recommended by age, but by developmental milestones, which can be found on the outer packaging.
